From The Acolyte and House of the Dragon to the 2024 Paris Olympics, there’s going to be plenty to stream this summer. Luckily, if you want to upgrade your setup in preparation for the busy entertainment slate, Verizon is currently selling the latest Apple TV 4K for $89.99 ($40 off), which is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen on the 64GB model.
Despite having launched in 2022, the third-gen Apple TV 4K remains an exceptionally snappy streaming device that, unlike most of the competition, doesn’t fully inundate you with ads. It offers a straightforward interface and an impressive feature set, too, with support for HDR10 Plus, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Wi-Fi 6. It also comes with a Siri Remote that charges via USB-C as well as deeper integration with the Apple ecosystem than anything you’d get from Amazon, Roku, or Google. The latter means you can take advantage of add-on subscriptions like Apple Arcade and Apple Fitness Plus or pair it with a set of AirPods for private listening. You can even use it with your iPhone and Apple’s Continuity Camera feature, which allows you to take FaceTime calls on the big screen.
Overall, Apple’s entry-level 4K streamer is a well-designed, easy-to-use option most people should be happy with. Keep in mind, however, that the 64GB model isn’t as futureproof as the 128GB configuration, which features an ethernet port and support for the newer Thread protocol. That said, you can also rest assured it’s not likely to get supplanted by a new model anytime soon, especially considering we’re not expecting any hardware announcements out of WWDC 2024.
